Air
Pollution: Its Origin and Control (3rd Edition) by Kenneth Wark, Cecil F. Warner, Wayne T. Davis
A well-respected air pollution text, this book is suitable for a variety
of engineers and scientists who wish to gain an introduction to the field
of air pollution. Known for its detailed development and application of
equations, the text emphasizes an understanding of the relationship between
sources and control of air pollution, rather than being a simple "handbook"
on the subject. The book presents information on four broad areas of interest
in the air pollution field: the effects of pollutants on health and welfare;
the laws and regulations that have been passed in efforts to improve air
quality; the modeling of atmospheric dispersion of pollutants; the approaches
to the control of emissions (from both stationary and mobile sources).
The third edition of this text has been modified in a number of ways.
New material has been added to bring the text up to date on the latest
regulations including the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The latest
standards for ambient air quality and emission have been included in this
revision. The authors continue to expose students to both the quantitative
and the qualitative aspects of air quality management and air pollution
control with a number of new questions and problems, with SI units emphasized
to a greater extent than in the previous edition. The internet is also
introduced as a valuable source of additional information. A web page is
maintained by the authors which provides links to sources of interest to
both instructors and students.
